PREDICTIONS ARE BASED ON YOUR ASCENDANT SIGN. CLICK ON YOUR ASCENDANT SIGN TO KNOW THE IMPACT OF THIS TRANSIT
Today’s blog is all about Mercury’s transit and its powerful influence on your professional life. Whether you’re involved in stock trading, commodities, intraday investments, delivery trades, or you run your own business — Mercury plays a crucial role in determining your success. It governs communication, intellect, decision-making, and planning—all essential traits for success in any business or trading profession.
Mercury is well placed if:
If Mercury in your birth chart is placed in Gemini or Virgo, or in any of its friendly signs like Libra, Leo, or Taurus, it becomes highly beneficial. I’ve observed that individuals with Mercury exalted in Virgo, or well-placed in signs like Gemini, Leo, Libra, or Taurus, and positioned in powerful houses such as the 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, or 11th, often experience tremendous professional growth—especially when Mercury isn’t afflicted by enemy planets.
When these individuals enter Mercury’s Mahadasha, which lasts 17 years, they often rise significantly in their careers—even if they come from middle-class backgrounds. A well-placed Mercury brings the ability to analyze markets smartly, handle clients effectively, and make sharp business decisions. Such people naturally evolve into successful businessmen, top-level traders, and profitable investors—even without Mercury’s Mahadasha running.
Mercury’s Astronomy & Influence:
Mercury, being the closest planet to the Sun, always stays near it in your birth chart—either conjunct with the Sun or one house behind or ahead. Mercury is debilitated in Pisces.
A strong Mercury gives you:
Sharp communication and reasoning abilities
Brilliant planning and future vision
A creative and strategic mindset
Natural talent for business, education, and intellectual pursuits
In fact, many astrologers, yoga teachers, stock market experts, analysts, and even public speakers and consultants often have a powerful Mercury in their chart. If Mercury is strong and placed in the 5th or 9th house, it also blesses you with excellent higher education and knowledge expansion.
On August 11, 2025, Mercury will go direct in the Cancer sign after being retrograde. This direct motion will continue until August 30, 2025. This change brings momentum in communication, decision-making, and professional dealings. You’ll feel a shift in your clarity, business planning, and overall thought process.
To all my new readers:
My predictions are always based on your ascendant sign, not your moon sign or sun sign. So please, keep your ascendant in mind while reading my blogs. That’s where you’ll get the most accurate insight about how this transit will affect your professional life, business performance, and decision-making. Stay tuned for my detailed analysis on how Mercury’s direct motion in Cancer from August 11 to August 30, 2025, will impact each ascendant sign.
ARIES
For Aries ascendant native, Mercury rules your 3rd and 6th houses, and it's not considered a naturally benefic planet for you. However, starting August 11, 2025, Mercury will go direct in your 4th house, bringing several positive developments.
When Mercury turns direct in the 4th house, you’ll notice an improvement in your relationship with your mother, and your bond with younger siblings will also strengthen. Your communication style becomes more polished and impressive, helping you express yourself more effectively—especially within family and professional settings.
Expect a rise in comfort, luxury, and personal happiness. This is a time when many of you may consider buying a new vehicle or property, or making solid investments in real estate. Direct Mercury enhances your ability to plan and manage such assets wisely.
Now, here’s the key point—Mercury in the 4th house also aspects your 10th house of career and profession, so you can expect noticeable progress in your business or job. New professional opportunities may arise, and your reputation at the workplace will likely improve.
Since the 6th house lord (Mercury) is transiting the 4th house, this also indicates relief from debts, loans, or legal troubles. You may also gain support from employees, staff, or domestic help—your overall lifestyle improves.
Stay grounded, plan smartly, and take advantage of this productive phase.
TAURUS
For Taurus ascendant natives, Mercury rules your 2nd and 5th houses—both highly significant for wealth, speech, intellect, and creativity. On August 11, 2025, Mercury will go direct in your 3rd house, which is considered a very powerful position for Mercury. This is going to be an excellent and productive phase for you.
When Mercury goes direct in the 3rd house all your stuck or delayed work will finally gain momentum. You will get support from younger siblings, friends, and well-wishers. Your communication skills will become more effective and magnetic. You’ll feel a boost in confidence, courage, and energy.
This is also a great time for financial gains. If you're an influencer, content creator, speaker, or artist, this phase can be a real game-changer—you might gain new followers, sign contracts, or expand your reach.
Your personality will shine, and your bond with friends, neighbors, and community will grow stronger. You’ll be full of energy and will put in consistent effort—and most importantly, the results will exceed your expectations.
From the 3rd house, Mercury casts its 7th aspect on the 9th house, opening opportunities about long-distance travel plans, especially for work, growth, or spiritual purposes. Your inclinations towards spiritual activities, religious journeys, pilgrimages, or temple visits will rise. You will find opportunities to reconnect with siblings or plan trips with them.
